Sapphire HD 6570 on 400W psu?

[aasser004]

hello,

i just recently built a budget system. I am planning on buying Sapphire HD 6570 1gb but I am not sure if my psu is enough.

my specs are:
Core i3-2120 3.30Ghz
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V (mobo)
4gb ddr3
500gb 7200rpm HDD
CM Elite 400W PSU http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Cooler-Master-Elite-Power-400-W-Power-Supply-Review/975/9
I currently dont have the budget to upgrade the psu so is it enough? or should i buy HD 5000 series instead?

btw, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

That should be fine as its the recommended psu for that system is 400w and that isn't a terrible psu so stability shouldn't be too much of a issue

that's CM is bad PSU but i would get from antec for cheaper and more budget get corsair / sesasonic

Your psu isnt the best, but it's more than powerful enough. Are you planning on gaming? You should consider stretching your budget to a HD 7750 if possible.

it should be alright ~
juz , if u wan gaming on higher resolution , which is higher than 720p ~
U will have problem with tat card,
get a 7750 better bet in ur case ~
